I no longer want to be famous but I do think about how I would like to be remembered

I try and use my platform to raise awareness for issues I think are important and hopefully I can be part of a movement that will enact real change in social policies and cultural norms.

I no longer want to be famous but I do think about how I would like to be remembered

I was travelling to a literary festival recently when I realised that Julian Barnes and David Mitchell were both on the same flight.

As the plane took off, I started to have my usual thoughts, ie what happens if the engine explodes and we all die in a ball of metal and hellfire, I hope my parents don’t go through my bank statements and realise how much I’ve been spending on pedicures and cocktails, no one at my funeral had dare utter the words “she wouldn’t want us to cry”.
